Upload utility

We provide a simple Java program that performs file uploads (via HTTP POST) to Crossref. This program allows you to upload a single file, a list of files, or a whole directory of files. Unzipping the archive will create a folder called doUpload.

Open a command/terminal window, navigate to the doUpload/ folder and enter the following: 

java -jar "doUpload.jar" -u username -p password -f file-name -o upload-option

where

• u is your username
• p is your password
• -f is your file name.  If the given file has a '.list' extension it is considered to be a file with a list of files to upload. Any other extension is considered a single file upload. If the file is a directory then all files in the directory will be uploaded.
• -o is your upload option
• use DEPOSIT to upload a content registration file (default)
• use DEPOSIT_REFS to upload a resource deposit
• use QUERY to upload a query file
• use DOIQUERY to upload a DOI-to-metadata query

Other (optional) args: 

-h defaults to doi.crossref.org
-hp defaults to port 80
-ph name of a proxy host if needed
-pp proxy port
